Happy Days’ pilot aired in 1974 but takes place in 1955. That ‘70s Show premiered in 1998 and took place in 1976. Therefore it’s high time for a half-hour sitcom about the halcyon days of 2007

This is Lindsey Isaacs. Last year, after a roadway accident killed three people in Florida, police spotted her on a Flock license plate reader and arrested her. But she wasn't involved in the crash.

Relatedly, I wrote this week about the "presumption of regularity," which puts a higher burden of proof on a party alleging selective prosecution, simply because judges believe the government is extra-trustworthy. It's bad principle that's aged even worse: reason.com/2026/08/06/c...

Courts say the Trump administration is shredding the 'presumption of regularity.' The government never deserved extra trust.

Misconduct and misrepresentations by Justice Department lawyers have led some federal judges to question the traditional benefit of the doubt they give to the government.

BREAKING: Federal judge denies the Southern Poverty Law Center's motion to dismiss the federal indictment against it on the basis of vindictive prosecution. Further, Judge Emily Marks, a Trump appointee, denies even further discovery into the claim. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

After filtering out the noise, the Court is left to decide only whether the Government’s decision to prosecute the SPLC was constitutionally impermissible. On this record, the SPLC is not entitled to discovery or dismissal of the indictment. The SPLC has Case 2:26-cr-00139-ECM-KFP Document 112 Filed 08/07/26 Page 1 of 36 2 failed to offer some evidence tending to show animus on the part of the prosecutors involved in bringing this case and that such animus resulted in the prosecution, the showing required for discovery. Because it cannot satisfy that standard, it necessarily fails to satisfy the higher standard that would entitle it to dismissal of the indictment. Accordingly, the SPLC’s motion is due to be denied.

Ben Shapiro Praises ‘The Odyssey’ as a “Masterpiece” Despite Elliot Page Casting Criticism

“The broader theme of the movie is actually very much in line with many things that conservatives think," the right-wing influencer said in his review. "If you let Elliot Page kill that for you, I thi...

They just keep killing people and lying about it. Everybody involved in this criminal organization needs to be prosecuted.

It is quaint to say how much the imperial president just gets to do war now, it’s been decades of this appalling shit and yet: it’s still abhorrent Trump has been able to take his stupid fucking war this far with Congress just not doing anything
